About me

Hello,

As a matter of fact, it is hard to come across a physicist with a strong affinity for poetry. Fortunately for you, I am one. My
name is Akinyemi AbdulMalik.

My journey to poetry was inspired by a girl I saw on TV long
before I chose to study Physics in the Federal University of Technology, Akure
(FUTA). Although I have a vague recollection of her words, the feeling I got
hereafter still lingers in my heart. She recited the poem she had composed so
beautifully that I felt like hugging her through the screen.

Slowly, I began my research into poetry, and I started
scribbling whatever I felt was poetry enough to scribble. Honestly, the journey
wasn’t a smooth one (given that I was a novice). Sometimes, the reactions I got
from people after reading my poems tempted me to give up. But I am glad that I
didn’t, and this has shaped me into the poet that I am today.

My mom and I

My poems have been featured on some magazines like the Cliqq
magazine, Al-Furqan magazine (FUTA), the Islamic World of Talents' anthology, By Me Poetry, etc. You can also read some of my poems
HERE.

NB: Except stated
otherwise, the write-ups on this blog are mine.

The path of poetry led me to other genres like fiction,
essay, and so on. In 2016, I bagged the second prize for the GIC (Glorious Islamic Center) national essay
competition. Currently, I am working on my first novella. You can read some of
my stories HERE.

In order to echo my own voice and the voice of others, and
also to entertain people and make reading fun, I created this blog. Trust me,
there is still a lot to discover. Please, feel free to explore. Don't forget to subscribe to our newsletter. And remember,
there is always something to write; something to read; and the pens of scribes have
not gone to their eternal rest. Love you *wink*
